As I travel thru this pilgrim land
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand
It is the christ of calvary
This would be my prayer, dear lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For I need thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed jesus, hold my hand
Jesus, hold my hand
I need thee every hour
Thru this pilgrim land
Protect me by thy power
Hear my feeble plea
O lord, look down on me
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet you there
Blessed jesus, hold my hand
When I wander thru the valley dim
Toward the setting of the sun
Lead me safely to a land of rest
If I a crown of life have won
I have put my faith in thee, dear lord
That I may reach the golden strand
There's no other friend on whom I can depend
Blessed jesus, hold my hand
Blessed jesus, hold my hand
Yes, I need thee every hour
Thru this land, this pilgrim land
protect me thy saving power
Hear my plea, my feeble plea
Lord, dear lord look down on me
When I kneel in prayer
Blessed jesus hold my hand
